Rod Rosenstein joins Bill Barr and Jeff Sessions in denying ALL knowledge of secret DOJ subpoenas sent to Microsoft and Apple for Congress members' data
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The Justice Department sent a secret subpoena to Apple on February 6, 2018 for 73 phone numbers and 36 email addresses

  • Trump and his administration were infuriated after detailed conversations between his aides and the Russian ambassador to the U.S. were leaked

  • The Justice Department began probing the sources of the embarrassing leaks

  • The subpoenas included requests for data from accounts for Democratic Reps. Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell

  • Jeff Sessions served as Attorney General at the time the administration started probing the leaks, and Rod Rosenstein served as his deputy attorney general

  • Neither Sessions nor Rosenstein knew about the subpoena, a source close to them told the Wall Street Journal on Friday

  • Sessions' successor William Barr ordered the probe continue well into 2020

  • Barr told Politico he also was 'not aware of any congressman's records being sought in a leak case' while he was attorney general
